If the information provided on Yahoo is accurate, then the company is claiming that, despite the Asian woes, their bottom line will be maintained since they have weighted their production towards high margin units. Are you familiar enough with KLIC to lend credence to this? Also, why the astonishingly low PE when, based on the company's 5 year history, a PE of about 30 would seem to be more in line? Is this measure poo-pooed? Are you aware of anything specific to KLIC to warrant such selling? Besides the chart pattern, why do so many followers, such as yourself, suggest the stock is going to 16-18, where the PE would be approaching 9? Are there fundamental changes in the industry that makes KLIC's product line outmoded (quite the contrary from my readings) or are these prognostications based on these 'technical' analyses which are beyond my grasp and interest.
